Complete Shorter Fiction | Edward Heron-Allen

1 post | 1 read

Presented here for the first time in a single volume, is the entire corpus of short fiction by Edward Heron-Allen, one of England's most intriguing, and unnecessarily obscure, authors. From "The Suicide of Sylvester Gray," the novella which was an inspiration for The Portrait of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, a friend of Heron-Allen's, to "The Cheetah Girl," an outrageous masterpiece of biological science fiction, the present collection is a tour de force of the elegant, the bizarre, and the unmentionable.With a total of thirty tales, the five volumes contained herein, many of which have previously only been obtainable for exorbitant prices, are now finally available in a proper format for connoisseurs, and the unafraid.

Complete Shorter Fiction | Edward Heron-Allen

pick

Been poking through this one for weeks, mostly because I'd read some of the stories before but couldn't remember which ones. I bought this volume primarily for "The Cheetah Girl", which is obscenely rare and damn near impossible to find. It's also obscene in the literal sense, and it's no wonder it wasn't widely published when first written. It's pretty daring and tasteless even by modern standards. Back then, EHA probably would've been strung up.
